We Will No Longer Process 3rd Party FFL Transfers

7/27/2023

Picture
Notice: Effective Tuesday, Aug. 1st, We Will No Longer Be Accepting Third-Party FFL Transfers.
We will still be processing direct orders (in person or online) for firearms purchases directly from Gibbs Custom Gunsmithing. The dramatic increase in regulations & requirements from both federal & state agencies in the past few years, coupled with the continual and ongoing changes based on court rulings for a myriad of state and federal lawsuits, along with the lack of definition of State of Illinois regulations, have created an untenable climate for a small shop. It has become virtually a full time job to keep up with the current regulations, and to document that each transfer complied with those in effect at the time of transfer. We have hit the point where we must decide whether to triple our transfer fees to cover the cost of the labor now required, or to discontinue them entirely. As our focus always has been, and remains, gunsmithing & Cerakote, we have opted to focus our energies on our core services. We regret the loss of resources for our customers’ 2nd Amendment rights, but we encourage them to take it to the voting booth. We remain available to you for purchases, gunsmithing & Cerakote. All the best,

The finalized bill was signed by Gov. Pritzker last night, and is now in effect. Below are a few of the "final answers." More thorough cheat sheet to come, but for now, the full text of the final bill can be found here. On the bright side, language was added so we can return customer's own property to them. From the Illinois State Police:

Introducing... ShadowCam™

ShadowCam™, uh, Lemon?
Lights are low, drums start rolling, "Ladies and Gentleman, Gibbs Custom proudly presents... ShadowCam™!" Spotlight hits center stage and the crowd goes wild! Ok, maybe a teensy bit overdone, but it can't be helped we're drama mamas. We absolutely love our new ShadowCam™—the combination of clean lines and blurred shadows; the way our carefully selected colors interact in each palette; the versatility to dial it from subtle to bold at the owner's preference—the whole is truly more than sum of it's parts. We're stoked and planning intro specials next month!

Shameless promo we had so much fun making! Makes all those meetings almost worth it.
NFW we made it to five years ha! In all seriousness, we can't thank you enough, Gibbs Gun Nation, for the incredible ride this thing continues to be, and it's all you. Our triple digit exponential growth, year after year, is due to one thing, and one thing only. You. We're banned from advertising on social media and most places small businesses use to increase exposure. But you told your friends, and they told their friends, and we've spent the last five years running around with our hair on fire.   ​
